These are squares I crocheted for Angie's loved ones blankets. Angie is a group member of mines that recently passed and really hit the group hard. We want to do something for the family to let them know how special she was to us. Here is my donation to the blankets. Two are below, the diagonal squares.

Here is my first try at baby crocs. The pattern was purchase from Etsy.com. It's not totally complete, I need to put the strap on and some buttons and make another one for the baby's other foot. lol

These are

Kimono Flower Crocheted Baby Shoes Pattern by Lisa van Klaveren.

I had a nice time crocheting the kimono baby shoes. Not hard at all if you just follow the pattern be mindful of blo and flo, you will be fine. I made two left shoes, I need to make two right ones to match those. lol I know was moving fast and not paying an attention to that little detail. Honestly no one can tell unless you say something. I made these for a little guy, now I need to figure out a fastener that would be suitable. Once you make one you will surely want to make another. Something quick to make for a baby shower gift. My daughter wants some so, I need to try to make one for an adult or ask the designer.

Pattern called Wooly Bridges from Too Hook.

Very easy to crochet. I have made several of these, thought I would share with my fellow crafters. They will go good with lots of things I suppose. I really enjoyed crocheting these. You can whip one out in maybe 1-3 hours.

These are courtside booties by Donna Childs.
Completed: March 25, 2009

Used Bernat Baby Softee yarn

This was a very quick crochet project. I had some problems putting it together, but I conquered as you can see. I surely will make more of these. I’m sure on the next pair I will make some changes. I really enjoyed this project.

These are Emily's Socks from the Two at a time book by Melissa Morgan-Oakes.
Finished: April 5 2009

I did not like the k3tog stitch at all. I did however get through a few rows, then I just wanted to do some mindless knitting. I didn’t have a problem with knitting socks 2-at-a-time. The book is very good, I will surely make another pair of socks from it.

These are Mother May I socks designed by Phyll Lagerman. One of my favorite sock designers. You will see more of her socks here in the near future.
Complete date: March 19, 2009

I had a good time knitting these socks. It was the kind of project you wanted to knit more and more to see what it was going to look like. I enjoyed knitting with Bernat Sox yarn, it is very stretchy would be great for wide feet or for a diabetic. I completed the socks in a weeks time. I truly enjoyed the pattern. Look forward to knitting more. I knit these socks 2 at a time on 2 circulars (US2).

I finally finish the Entrelac Socks. I would have finished much sooner, I stopped to make several baby shower items for several baby showers. Now I’m so tired of entrelac but I’m sure in the future I will do it again. Once I got the hang of which way to go, I was ok. Now when I stopped I forgot how to knit entrelac, that set me back Completion date: March 22, 2009

I love these baby socks. They will be going to a friend as a baby shower gift. Used Bernat Sox yarn purchased from www.herrschners.com and US2 needles. Added a ruffle edging on the top, crochet.

I used the Queen Kahuna's (Crazy toes and heels)method of cast on for toes. Used Cat Bordhi's short row heel on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yVikAvPuE4

It's a second part to this link be sure to watch it.

I have finally completed my first entrelac sock. I am so proud. Take a look!

I love this new series on HBO called TrueBlood. Do you watch the show? Vampires living amongst the humans and they know it. The humans are not to fond of this, but they sell bottled blood for the vampires. I enjoy watching the show. O it is not for kids, it sometimes has a lot of sexual content.

Crochet a beanie for a girlfriend of mines, unfotunately the rim doesn't stretch. I was so hurt and she refuse to give it back. She loves it! I told her I would make another one, she still insisted on keeping this one. The next time I will do the rim portion in half double crochets, the have more stretch to them than single crochets.

I have made a couple tribbles. They are very easy to make and work great when cleaning your face or feet. I discovered them at http://wishingiwasknitting.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2008-03-20T10%3A30%3A00-07%3A00&max-results=20

I just added a few stitches to make the tribble a little bigger.

10/29/08 - Finally, my Redskin BSJ is done. I purchased the logo from ebay and the barrel buttons from A.C. Moore. The buttons are 3/4”, darkwook. I tried to make the hood but the measurements was off so, I decided to do a collar. Which was very easy to knit. I’m so happy with my BSJ and glad it is finished.

Currently I'm knitting the Entrelac Socks by Eunny Jang. I recently finished the heel.

I started on my socks 10/14/08. I had no problem with the toes and thanks to the entrelac socks group, I didn’t have any holes knitting from the toes to the base triangle. I’m about to start on the second tier. I hope all goes over smoothly.
10/16/08 - I removed one sock from the ML and put on a circular needle. I could not figure out ML, but determined to make these socks.
10/17/08 - I’m on the second tier moving right along.
10/21/08 - I have finished the heel on my first sock and have started working on the leg portion.

Here is my latest creation. I feel in love with the diaper covers and skirts on this site amongst a lot of other items.

http://hyenacart.com/prod_details.php?id=46616&vid=577

So, I decided I would make my own. I think I did a pretty good job. The diaper cover itself is knitted and the skirt portion is crochet. The knit version of the skirt is coming in the near future. I love to challenge myself and this was a good challenge, but not very hard to accomplish. So, back to the designing board.

Happy Knitting your Stitches!

My latest knit creation skirt bags. I embellished the bags to look like cheeleader skirts. I used the lining to look like little undies under the skirts. I have so many ideas on what I want to do with these bags. They are really cute and the recipients just love them. I knit both of the bags together and just cute in half and stitched up the back. This is my own design and I'm so proud of my accomplishment. In the near future I will have a site up selling my patterns. However, if you are interested in purchasing the pattern now, it's $4.00 just leave me a comment and I will contact you.

Current project;Knitting 4 socks at once on the magic loop using the Crazy Toe and Heel book by Queen Kahuna. I use this method because the socks fit perfectly to my feet. I wanted to challenge myself so, we will see how this goes. To knit the socks, i'm using a size 1 knitpick circular needle, Kroys socks yarn (pink) and Bernat Sock Yarn (white). The both feel pretty much the same. I'm sure there is some difference, but I can not tell. I will keep you posted.
